! Like I know he's been in top form for a while now but still crazy to see him shatter that record like that. And you gotta feel for him, breaking that Clippers record is no easy feat. The way he carried his team to that W is just impressive 
. Not surprised though, he's always had this kinda game. Reminds me of when he played in Houston and was doing similar things. Anyway, it's great to see the Clippers winning some games now, they've been struggling for a while 
. And that loss for the Wizards? Yeah, that's just tough, 14 losses in a row, gotta be tough on those guys 
.
AND TO BREAK THAT RECORD FOR HIS TEAM IS JUST AMAZING. I DONT KNOW WHAT'S BEEN GOING THROUGH HIS MINDS Lately BUT HE SEEMS TO BE ON TOP OF HIS GAME RIGHT NOW!!! 
THE CLIPPERS ARE LOOKING STRONG THIS SEASON AND I'M LOVING IT!!! 
! I mean, 55 points is insane! He's like a machine on the court 
. I love how he gave all credit to his team, though - that's what winning is all about, right? 
It's crazy to see him break his own team's record, especially since Bob McAdoo and Charles Smith held it for so long 
. The Clippers are definitely on the rise this season, and I'm excited to see how they do in the playoffs 
️. Harden's got a new nickname now: "The Point Master" 
!
. As a parent, it's heartbreaking to see kids (or in this case, pros 
) not finding success despite their best efforts 
.
, can't seem to get on a roll. And Jokic, man... 8-game losing streak for the Nuggets 
, that's rough. But you know who's killing it? The Pistons 
, they're looking strong in the Eastern Conference. On the other hand, Wizards are like, what's going on there? 14 straight losses, can't catch a break 
?
I think it's awesome to see James Harden breaking records and leading his team to win. He's literally putting in the work and it's paying off! 
. But seriously, with teams like the Detroit Pistons on a roll, there's gotta be some inspiration for the rest of them to step up their game 
. Like, James Harden's record-breaking performance is cool and all, but 14 straight losses for the Washington Wizards? That's just crazy 
. Can't wait for the playoffs to start! 
. And can we talk about Nikola Jokic for a sec? He's still putting up those sick stats 
. And ugh, poor Washington Wizards... 14 losses in a row is brutal 
. and poor nikola jokic, falling short against the sacramento kings was tough to watch 
.
It's like, okay, James Harden had a good game, he broke a record and all that. But do we really need to know the score, the number of points scored by each team, and the length of losing streaks for every single other team? Can't we just get to the point already? 
coach did an amazing job motivating him and getting everyone pumped for the game 
. And don't even get me started on the Hornets - what are they doing with their roster?
